>> well, i am supporting president obama so you know what my thoughts are. i think that everything about a person's record is relevant to service as president. what is the job of the next president? the job of the next president is to accelerate the recovery, get us back to full employment, get income growth growing in america again. and fully implement the health care law so we bring our costs down, in line with our competitors, as well as increase coverage. create a new energy economy that will generate millions of jobs. i think if you look at their positions on the issues and the actions they have taken previously, president obama is much more likely to produce those results than governor romney is. that is what i think the focus should be on. who is more likely to bring us back to full employment and to broaden its prosperity? in general, the you believe we have to grow together and that government has a role to play in that or should we weaken government, pretend it is the enemy, and say you're on your own? the latter is the philosophy of the modern rep
